2 Kinds of Work Praise

2 Kinds of Work Praise

  1. WE-STRENGTH - This is the type of praise where the entire team is elevated and pushed forward.
  2. ME-STRENGTH - This is the type of praise wherein it makes an individual employee stronger. It is where the person is most comfortable, joyous, and focused on work that brings them satisfaction.

However, it is important to keep in mind that every employee has different strengths where their we-strength could be intrinsically different from their me-strength.

Addressing The Gap Between Me-Strengths

  1. It is important for a manager to be able to gain clarity in each employee's me-strengths. This can be done simply through observation and asking the right questions.
  2. The employees' responsibilities must have room to be exercised regularly. The space given to them will provide positive long-term results and increase employee satisfaction.

When we celebrate our employee's strengths they will feel valued and special, thus making them much more willing to exercise that strength again in the future.

Identifying Me-Strengths

In order to identify your employee's me-strengths, ask them:

  1. What do you enjoy doing but haven't done yet?
  2. What sorts of activities do you finish that make you want to do it again?
  3. What do you see on your calendar that excites you?
  4. Tell me about a time when you were doing an activity where you didn't notice how much time has passed.
  5. On your very best workday, the day you think you have the best job in the world — what transpired that day?
